Truly, a 9 minute tutorial that actually teaches you IK beats a shoddy 2 minute one any day. Also thanks for keeping the mistakes in, it doubles the value of the tutorial.
This deserves more views. Very informative, perfect pace. Easy to follow, even for someone who's only been looking into animation for two weeks. Thank you!
man... you havev no clue how helpful this tutorial is. I struggled for the longest time with IK. And the Pole nomes... oml don't even get me started. You're a real lifesaver
Thank you for making a succinct and to-the-point video about what I've been trying so hard to pick up on. The other 1,000 videos on this topic seem to be made by people who can't clearly communicate the concept without making it *way* more complicated and difficult than it needs to be.
thank you so much! I have watched over 15 videos about lk rigging and none of them helped me. now I understand what Ik is and how it works. thank you again.
This tutorial is GOLD. Plenty of clear information here, more precise than other videos that make a somewhat confused usage of the options inside IK constraint. Bravo PIXXO
Armatures, and IK in particular, are something I find confusing, so videos like this where everything is presented in an easy to follow way and leisurely pace are much appreciated.
If anyone's having issues keeping the shape of your mesh when moving the IK controller, don't disconnect the bones, it still works. Maybe it's because of differences between versions of blender since 2020. Thanks for the great tutorial!!
Your video makes it a lot easier to understand the "simple" mechanic behind the IK-System. the "problem solve" at min 7:30 quit my rage mode I had because of another video on youtube ... I can't figure out, why my armature was moving so horrible fast while moving the "IK-Bone" ... You saved my interest in blender
Thank you for demystifying the IK "mystery". The oops that you made, does not reflect negatively...it does in fact teach us something. (to err is human, to forgive is Devine). Just what I need to get going again; now I know how to add a tail to my character.
0:35 "... Limb or Tentacle, and I wanted to bring this Por- .. uhh this bone here...." Gotcha pixxo . I see you're a man of culture as well, by what you associate with tentacle xD
One catch I noticed is that you can move the IK bone far enough that it physically separates from the rest of the rig and takes the bones parented to it with it. Is there any sort of constraint or option that keeps this from happening? Like can it stay visually connected to the other IK bones but maintain its independent rotation etc.?
There are multiple orientations that the faces of a mesh could be pointed while still being at the position specified by the IK control bone, adding the pole target gives the faces a target of where the faces should be orientated, giving you better control of the rotation. At least that's what I understand its benefit to be.
when you want to pull an armature by moving it near to other ones but in specific way without pole target , it usually becomes crazy and bend in any direction pole target is necessary to make it bend in specific directions
I have a tangentially related question. If you don't have access to mocap equipment, what is the best workflow to get the most realistic animations possible? So far I've tried chopping up a video of someone doing the movement I want into individual pictures (a woman jogging in this case) and trying to pose the mesh alongside it frame by frame, but this is really painful. Also, using IK doesn't seem to speed up the process very much. FK seems to be just as fast, as far as I can tell, because it requires a lot of very minute, granular adjustments.
IK is a massive timesaver for the vast majority of cases. Make sure you are placing the control bones in the right places to get the fine control. You can get the fine motion of a whole arm down to a tee with a single bone if done right, where as FK requires you to move each bone individually every keyframe. It's literally 3 times the work if you have a three bone arm to use FK...
Nice video tyvm,i was getting crazy trying to create this kind of movement ♥️🤍🖤💛 by the way maybe is just me but every time ,i hear "reggae" instead rigging xD

This is the most simplified IK rigging tutorial I've ever watched! Thanks a million!
Professional, clear, direct -- without an annoying soundtrack or mannered voice narration. Thanks!

the only tutorial that worked for me, and in a hurry for a deadline. i was desperated, thanks!!!

I didn't know it would be as easy as that , i really appreciate your efforts for helping us 😍

Very good tutorial. I didn't understand all of it but I'm sure I will when I've watched it a few times. Thankyou.

THANK YOU! this is the most informative video i've seen about rigging! now I understand plenty of new things!!!!
Thank you so much, your tutorial has much clarity, and it is easy to follow and understand! Just subbed!
Thank you! I'm still wrapping my head around rigging, but this helped immensely!
Best beginner IK video
Such a useful video. Super clear and concise! Thank you!

The best one so far....thanks.
Ive wasted so much time. Youve changed my entire work flow. Thanks!
Thank you for addressing poles, I was entirely unaware of that feature.
Totally awesome video. Finally able to understand how to make IK work! Thanks.
this is so much better.. I finally understood how to set up IK
Very efficient tutorial. Very helpful. Thank you!
Finally I found you! Thank you!
dude just wanna tell you it's really good
This video is incredibly useful, thanks for the accessible but informative vid friend

Great, really efficient tutorial, thanks so much, so helpful.
Thank you!! Very useful!
Awesome guide just what I needed! Thank you for taking the time to make the video. 😀
This is epic! Thank you for sharing!
Your vedio is very knowledgeable.. 🤗🤗
man this is sooo useful
thank you!
excellent tutorial, thank you 🙏🏻
Very very helpful. Thank you for this.
Oh yes, nice one, that has made it easy, thank you :)

Thanks for posting, you are awesome! THX
Great info, thanks!
thank you！omg ！never benn so clear

Thanks a ton man
What if I want ik to be able to bend in different directions at different times.
i usually use empty object for ik rig
Thank you very much .
Very nice thank you!
Thanks very much for tutorial..
nice video , i think it would be better if it has double Ik in order to move smouthly . good luck !
Is there way to add a constraint to the amount a bone moves in an axis, like say i wanted the middle bone to only move on the y axis and nothing else
yes. use the Limit Rotation, Limit Distance, Limit Location constraints 👍
简洁明了，非常感谢！
What's the purpose/Logic of the "pole target"? I find many rigging tutorials just say add it but don't explain it :/
There are multiple orientations that the faces of a mesh could be pointed while still being at the position specified by the IK control bone, adding the pole target gives the faces a target of where the faces should be orientated, giving you better control of the rotation. At least that's what I understand its benefit to be.

without pole target , it usually becomes crazy and bend in any direction
pole target is necessary to make it bend in specific directions
you are amazing thank you
Thank you very much friend
Thank you so much!!
Legend!
The Alternative is Auto Ik that is pretty good because there no need to spend time
Thank you so much!

when I did the same thing wich you did my controler bone is rotating
I use Blender 2.92 and there is not any short keys or panel for Inverse Kinematics. How should I do this?
i think it's Ctrl+i
@@ghaznavipc Thank you
instead of CRTL shift C where I can find that option
I had problems with that because I didn’t notice he switched to pose mode before pressing , CTRL shift C .
It is under Constraints in the Pose menu.
Thanks !

Hey you know, nothing like a bit of reggae while you are working on a Blender project. Can really chill the experience.
@@PIXXO3D Lol
Nice
Mine doesnt have Inverse Kinematics. Blender 3.2.1
Are you sure about that.
@@whereswaldo4197 lol i wasnt on pose mode or edit mode
@@hartdr8074 I'm 3.2 and I have inverse Kinematics.

Same here, My portfolio has been going down the drain while I try trading,l just don't know what I do wrong
Trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor trade
@Daley Morrow Wow I'm just shock you mentioned and recommended Expert Mrs Karen Charles,I thought I'm the only trading with her
@@sebastiancarreras8583 You don't need to be shock because I'm also a huge beneficiary of expert Mrs Karen
I stumbled upon one of her clients testimonies and decided to try her out...I'm Expecting my third cashout in 2days
